953 d track loader stripping topsoil

[@jameslindley924]

Do you find the Dozer Cleats much better than Double Grousers ?

[@evergreen7889]

We have a home development coming up I need to figure whether to get a track loader or bigger dozer.. I think a loader will help me clear strip topsoil load off road dump and do dirt work.. if with dozer I need track hoe to load off road truck and dozer to clean up pile.. thinking a 963 might be worth it.. cause after use of big dozer on job I have no need for one. But track loader I can clear lots and do residential digs as well etc

[@briangardiner1015]

So will you use the track loader to do the cut and fill?

[@abramzimmerman9089]

Yes

[@scottaddison8071]

Truly awesome machine

[@jackmartin7128]

How you going Abram, love your work, many hours do you get out of those 953d before any major problems? They look like they go good on video. We have a couple of 953C track loaders that we run in Australia and we can get 15000 hours before any major repairs.

I imagine with a fair bit of luck, they could get to 15k . We're on the road to finding how far it's going to last yet

[@jackmartin7128]

Abram Zimmerman how many hours are you up to?

[@abramzimmerman9089]

I'm not trying to be mean but i think. You should put your other hand rail back on ur 953
